Critical Acclaim for the Undisputed Master of the Legal Thriller
With every new book I appreciate John Grisham a little more, for his feisty critiques of the legal system, his compassion for the underdog, and his willingness to strike out in new directions. Entertainment Weekly
John Grisham is exceptionally good at what he does indeed, right now in this country, nobody does it better . . . Grisham s books are also smart, imaginative, and funny, populated by complex interesting people, written by a man who is driven not merely by the desire to entertain but also by genuine (if understated) outrage at human cupidity and venality. Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post
The secrets of Grisham s success are no secret at all. There are two of them: his pacing, which ranges from fast to breakneck, and his theme little guy takes on big conspiracy with the little guy getting the win in the end. Time
